Remember this guy? This great horned owl perched in Grandpa & Grandma's living room for many years. It now sits in my parents place living room. There is a story behind the owl.
Many years ago, back on the farm, this guy was a visitor. Unfortunately, he was not an invited guest. The problem was he was hunting and killing the new born chicks (of the fowl persuasion, not human...). It was decided that he had to go and the way to do this was to shoot him. Not sure who was all involved in the hunt, but my dad pulled the trigger. Some people hang fish or moose heads on their walls, well dad saved the owl and had it stuffed. Each to his own eh?
